Lead Sponsor Ingram and 93 Publishers Support Winter Institute 13

The American Booksellers Association’s 13th annual Winter Institute (Wi13) will be held in Memphis, Tennessee, on January 22–25, 2018, thanks to the generous support of Ingram Content Group, the event’s lead sponsor, and additional support from 93 publishers large and small.

“We are enormously grateful to the record number of sponsors that have shown their commitment to independent booksellers through their participation in the Winter Institute,” said ABA Director of Development and Publisher Relations Matthew Zoni. “In 2018, our 94 sponsors come from all corners of the publishing landscape — big publishers, small presses, university presses, and book distributors — to meet independent booksellers from all over the country in Memphis. We hope all ABA members will join us in expressing appreciation to our lead sponsor, Ingram, and to every one of these sponsors for their ongoing support.”

Registration for the 2018 Winter Institute is full. Registrants who are no longer planning to attend should notify the American Booksellers Association as soon as possible, so waiting booksellers can be offered a chance to attend.

Booksellers on the waitlist will be notified on a first-come, first-served basis if cancellations are received. Booksellers who are no longer planning to attend the institute are asked to e-mail cancellation@bookweb.org to cancel their event registration or to be removed from the event waitlist.
